This is a homework question; I'm supposed to use power series to find the following sum: $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{n}{2^n}$$ I took the geometric series $$\frac{1}{1-x}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty {x^n}$$ and differentiated and multiplied both sides by x to get $$\frac{x}{(1-x)^2}=\sum_{n=1}^\infty {nx^n}$$ I'm stuck because I'm not sure how to make the $$\frac{1}{2^n}$$ term appear.
